Dooley, Jr. (Updated 19 July 2012) The National Archives, National Archives and Records Service, General Services Administration, Washington. National Archives Microfilm Publication Microcopy No. 593, Population Schedules of the Eighth Census of the United States, 1870. 1. The spelling of many names has been corrected by the editor. For names as they appear in the Census, reader should consult the original record. 2. Birth and death dates have been added from independent sources listed in “Sources Cited in Endnotes,” which follows the Census record. Ages given in the original Census are often wrong and should be compared with birth and death dates. 3. Groupings follow those in the Census schedule. Groupings indicate family groups or persons residing in the same household; however, the order of names does not necessarily indicate relationships. 4. This Census study is the continuation of a similar study of the 1860 Lexington Census. Where the same name appears in each Census, an informational endnote can be found in the 1860 Census, with a cross-reference appearing in the 1870 Census. Where a name appears only in the 1870 Census, the informational endnote will be found in the 1870 Census. 5.The informational endnotes in this Census study are updated periodically. For comments, additions, corrections, or suggestions, direct correspondence to Col. Edwin L. Dooley, Jr., c/o VMI Archives, Preston Library, VMI, Lexington, VA 24450. 6.

As result among Harvard alumni, Union military losses were 10% compared with a 21% casualty rate for the Confederate Army. The battle of Gettysburg (PA) had the highest amount of Harvard alumni serving in the Union Army who were killed in action (i.e. 11), in addition 3 Harvard alumni Confederates also died in this battle. Secondly, seven Crimson warriors made the supreme sacrifice for the Union at Antietam (MD) with 5 more were killed in the battles of Cedar Mountain (VA) and Fredericksburg (VA). As expected, most of the Harvard alumni who died in the service of the Union were born and raised in the Northeastern states (e.g. 74% from Massachusetts). However, 9 Harvard alumni Union casualties were from the Mid West including one from the border state of Missouri. None of these Harvard men were from southern states.

As the founder of the National PCA/ACA, its regional organizations, the inspiration behind the Journal of Popular Culture and the Journal of American Culture, a prolific author and advocate for Popular /American Culture scholars Ray’s influence was felt worldwide. st Join us in dedicating our 31 Annual SWTX PCA/ACA Conference in his honor. CONTENTS PROGRAM Ray Browne (1922 – 2009): Mentor to Many and Friend to All Ray Browne was a mentor to thousands of us and we celebrate his influence as we mourn. At the age of 87, he was still editing book reviews for the Journal of American Culture and, pretty much till the end of his life, making the daily trek to his office in Bowling Green State University’s Jerome Library. Ray believed that there was both a need and an opportunity to study popular culture. For someone trained in folklore (as Ray had been), this was not a radical notion, but “traditionalist” professors in English and history departments deplored such slumming. A 1969 Toledo, Ohio, meeting of the American Studies Association focusing on popular culture became the occasion for crystallizing random experiments into a new movement.

RECORD of the editor's branch of the Armistead family- A was begun in the summer of 1903, at the request of an elder brother, who came to Virginia for the purpose of collecting family data for his large family living in distant South- ern States. Airs. Sallie Nelson Robins, of the Virginia Historical Society, started the ball in motion when preparing his paper to join the Virginia Sons of the American Revolution. From this, the work has grown till the editor sends ''The Armistead Family'' to press, in sheer desperation at the endless chain she has started powerless to gather up the broken links that seem to spring up like dragon's teeth in her path. She feels that an explanation is due, for the biographical notes, detail descriptions, and traditions introduced in her own line; which was written when the record was intended solely for her family. Therefore, she craves in- dulgence for this personal element. Dr. Lyon G. Tyler's Armistead research in the William and Mary Quarterly is the backbone of the work, the use of which has been graciously accorded the editor. She is also indebted to Mr. Robert G.

Velander, Ph.D., Associate Professor of Chemical Engineering, Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, Blacksburg, VA A visionary scientific partnership launched in 1987 appears to be on the verge of'a major payoff. One member of the team has been looking into the therapeutic potential of fibrinogen, a component of blood, with the growing expectation that it will prove of immense benefit in a number of clinical situations (i.e. as surgical sealant; delivery vehicle for drugs; template for bone reconstruction). But how to get enough of this material to meet the anticipated need? Enter partner #2, who has finally succeeded in generating this blood factor in recombinant abundance in the milk of transgenic livestock.
